>>> Park summons 27 players for 2019 Asian Cup campaign >>> Can't underestimate Vietnam at Asian Cup 2019: FOX Sports Asia After being crowned champions at the 2018 AFF Suzuki Cup earlier this month, coach Park Hang-seo's side immediately started preparing for the biggest continental football tournament that will start in UAE on January 5 next year. The Vietnam national team gathered on December 20 and said goodbye to Korean physical coach Bae Ji-won and three players, including Van Quyet, Anh Duc and Dinh Trong.

Viet Nam News SYDNEY — Test discard Peter Handscomb says he is hurting after being axed from Australia’s squad to play Pakistan next month, but has heeded the message that he must score more runs. The middle-order batsmen was sacrificed after form deserted him, with selectors opting instead for uncapped pair Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne. Since making his Test debut against South Africa in late 2016, Handscomb has averaged a creditable 43.63. But the 27-year-old paid the price for being dismissed in single figures nine times from his last 11 innings across all formats. "It’s obviously tough, getting dropped at any stage hurts," he said. "I was backing myself to score runs in the subcontinent. I had a tough tour (this month) with Australia A in India, but I know I can do it and I’ve done it before both in India and Bangladesh." Despite his self-belief, the sometime wicket-keeper understands why he has been dropped. "It’s the same old -- … [Read more...] about Australia’s Handscomb hurting after Test axing

Labour is calling for a ban on parents-to-be being told the sex of their baby after early blood tests, amid fears it may lead to abortions of girls. The Non-Invasive Prenatal Test (NIPT) is used by the NHS to test for genetic conditions, but people can pay for it privately to discover a baby's gender. Labour MP Naz Shah said it was morally wrong for people to use the test to abort pregnancies based on the outcome. The Department of Health said it would continue to review the evidence. An investigation by the Victoria Derbyshire programme has found thousands of British women discussing using NIPT to determine gender on an online forum. Ms Shah, who is shadow women and equalities minister, said cultural practices in some communities like the South Asian community, have a preference for boys. She said this put great strain on women "forcing them to adopt methods such as NIPT to live up to expectations of family members". NIPT involves taking a sample from the woman to look for DNA from … [Read more...] about Labour calls for ban on early foetus gender test

Viet Nam News By Thu Trang Almost 20 years ago, I entered the Kim Liên High School with great pride, dreams and aspirations. Not only was this one of the most famous high schools in Hà Nội, it was highly regarded around the whole country. With the school’s fame coupled with my hard work and dedication, I truly believed a place at university was a sure thing. But, to my surprise, my family’s and friends’ surprise, I failed in the entrance exam for the Hà Nội National University of Education. I cried days and nights until I felt that my tears ran dry. I did not want to eat or drink, and did not want to meet anyone. But my luck was about to change. After what could only be described as the worst two months of my life, the university lowered its criteria and dropped the required points total for admissions by one. I was in. So after my own painful struggles, I can easily relate to the heartache suffered come exam time when students … [Read more...] about Teaching our kids lessons in life, not test prep

Viet Nam News SOUTHAMPTON, United States — Phil Mickelson was almost gushing in his praise of Shinnecock Hills on Monday, but that doesn’t mean the five-time major winner backs all of the changes at the historic course hosting the US Open this week. Shinnecock will play 449 yards longer than it did when it hosted the 2004 US Open. Mickelson likes the added length at the par-four 14th, but isn’t a fan of the lengthened par-five 16th. "I like to make the hard holes harder and the easy holes easier," Mickelson said. "So when they take 14, which is a very hard par-four, and they make it harder and move the tee back, I actually like that a lot because it allows for the players that are playing well to make up strokes on the field by making pars." Lengthening 16 is a different matter, he said. "It’s one of very few birdie opportunities," Mickelson said. "And to move the tee back to 620 yards, which is the total MO of the USGA, they do it every course, I … [Read more...] about Mickelson urges fair US Open test, not ’carnival golf’
